Derive the different relationships among the properties of the soil.
I have good knowledge but I want to see the derivations at once.
Note: Please don't write the names of the properties. Symbolic representation is enough.
If I like the answer I will give a like(thumbsup) for sure. Otherwise ready for dislike.

Your firm has been asked to evaluate the "risk" of removing drums of acid from a waste lagoon that contains cyanide. The following data have been provided to you: Volume of air in which occupants live = 1 X 108 m3 Wind speed = calm Number of drums = 10 Volume of each drum = 0.02m3 Contents of drums: HCl at a concentration of 10% by mass Anticipated reaction : HCl + NaCN --> HCN(g) + NaCl RfC for HCN = C X 10 -3 mg . m-3 Assuming 100% of the HCl will react from HCN, estimate the hazard index and indicate whether or not the residents should be evacuated while the drums are being removed.

Contractor performed considerable work on a project. Owner then became insolvent, leaving Contractor unpaid. Contractor tried to recover payment from the undisbursed construction loan proceeds being held by Owner's bank. Contractractor argued that it was a beneficiary of the loan agreement between bank and Owner. Bank refused to make payment.
Discussion
Do you agree with the Contractor's argument? Does the bank have any contractual obligation to disburse the unused loan to the contractor? How would you prevent this kind of financial risk?

A horizontal curve has a deflection angle delta equal to 7° 01’ 24” a degree of curvature equal to 2° 00’ , and a PI station of 57 + 36.56. Using conventional U.S. units, compute the curve data and the PC and PT stations. Using conventional U.S. units, compute the deflection angles (in degrees, minutes, and seconds) at even 100 ft stations for the curve.
Please explain how you calculate the deflection angle with details.

An existing 36-inch diameter concrete gravity sewer installed on a slope of 0.25% currently conveys a peak flow rate of 12 cfs. A builder proposes to connect a new residential development to this existing sewer. Projected peak flow from this new development is 4 cfs.
a) Depth of flow in sewer before new development is connected
b) Depth of flow in sewer after new development is connected
c) Flow velocity in sewer after new development is connected
d) Flow type (critical, subcritical or supercritical) after new development is connected
e) Diameter of a sewer to convey combined peak flow of 16 cfs if maximum allowable D/d is 0.85 (i.e. assume you are designing new sewer on the same 0.25% slope)
Please show all work. Thank you so much in advance!

A concrete mix is required for reinforced concrete wave breaker at seashore where frequent mild freezing and thawing is dominant. A specified compressive strength of 25 MPa is required at the age of 28 days, and the size of the section and reinforcement dictate using a maximum aggregate size of 19 mm. The company had no history of testing concrete used. The coarse aggregate meets the ASTM grading requirements. It has absorption of 2%, a BSG (D) of 2.70 and a unit weight of 1550 kg/m3. The fine aggregates have absorption of 1%, a BSG (D) of 2.7 and a fineness modulus of 2.7. Both coarse and fine aggregates are used while dry. For each bag of cement (50 kg); calculate the number of containers of coarse and fine aggregate equivalent to required mass quantities. The volume of each container is 20 liters; and the loose density of the coarse and fine aggregates are 1250 and 1200 kg/m3, respectively.
